we have had two big parties in america. under bush and others running the party they called it big government republicanism. you had the democrats ever since the new deal and the republicans, but the populist right that ronald reagan represented -- there was nothing there. that is now reasserting itself within the conservative movement and eventually within the republican party. host: what factors do you see within the obama administration that make you think there is opportunity for republicans? guest: i think he missed the opportunity to redefine his party as the majority for a generation. if he has governed as he talked about with tax cuts for 95%, going after deficit spending -- if he went after cultural issues like affirmative action he could have repositioned the democratic party more to the middle. he surprised a lot of people by going so hard to the left. he has not only gone back to the democratic traditions of big government that go back to the new deal and great society, but has also cast its moorings away from t

the rate of poverty and hunger, are higher in rule america than in urban america. and the policies that we have no that are called foreign policies are not the best way to address to help people in rural america that really need help. so i think that is an unfinished agenda. in this economy we really cannot afford protectionist subsidies for rich landholders. we have got to go back to the farm bill and to deal with those subsidies that hurt poor farmers in developing countries, don't really help anybody but a really small group of large landholde landholders. and also drain financial resources. we do need to be fiscally responsible, and that is a glaring case where we are spending some money that is not moving our whole economy in the right direction. so what policy can do, it seems to me, to strengthen rural communities, struggling people in rule communities, would include reform of our farm and agricultural policies to focus on the people who need help. and to shift some money from people for getting money because they have political power to the people in rural

soaking america's rich? caller: so your callers have made statements that these taxes need to be reduced. what they need to spend time with is the historical time of the highest income tax rate paid by the richest of the ridge. there are a couple of things that are very interesting about it. 35% is the highest marginal rate. looking at world war ii one, it goes from single digits, where they were looking for a 70%, it dropped down into the 1920's. then they find themselves in world war ii with a top marginal rate for most of the war years. basically it has settled into the 1990's and 1970's for ronald reagan, where it was 60% higher for those terms. to talk about raising taxes to under the 39% that they were during the clinton time, which was a huge boom, i do not think that that is unreasonable. people have to look at these numbers instead of fantasizing about how unfair that taxes are. they will get some perspective. host: thank you for the call. from twitter -- the rich pay the taxes because they have the
